Laps Testing at Tuas

This test was done on the night of 30/8/2011, which was a wet and rainy day. The main objective was to test out the lap functions and to try and overlay the results to compare. The car was a toyota corolla, so naturally the figures would be very conservative. Because the run is sampled as a continuous drive, one needs to break up that continuous drive into laps, or consecutive single runs, in order to overlay them and compare.


The above diagram shows the typical main screen displaying speed, longitudinal and lateral acceleration. The drive was fairly consistent except for the first lap, which was a 'Reece' lap.

Overall, it was a simple rectangular left handed circuit. It was a learning experience trying to explore and utilise the software in greater detail. The potential for this is literally limitless once one knows how to manipulate, create and present the required data. :)
